Brake Fluids

Brake fluids are a critical part of your braking system. This category brings together the main fluid types and their key properties to help you compare options easily. You'll find glycol-based fluids (DOT 3, DOT 4 and DOT 5.1) and silicone-based DOT 5 fluids, each with different boiling points, moisture tolerance and compatibility with braking systems. When comparing, check dry and wet boiling points, viscosity, and suitability for your vehicle's ABS or hydraulic system. Always match the fluid to your owner's manual specifications, climate conditions and driving style. Use this page to understand how fluid type and performance ratings influence braking reliability and maintenance needs.
